Turkish nationalism

Turkish nationalism is a political ideology that promotes and glorifies the Turks as a national, ethnic, and/or linguistic group. The ideology is associated with Pan-Turkism, neo-Ottomanism, and secular Kemalism, other nationalistic ideologies. Some nationalist intellectuals argue that a distinct Turkish civilization developed after the 1071 Battle of Manzikert, and that Anatolia should be celebrated as the Turkish homeland, not Central Asia.
